String concat contains dummy comparision.

issue に記載されている String concatenation ベンチマークをリポジトリ内で探し、現在の設定と報告されているケースを確認します。ベンチマークを更新して、ランダム化された文字列長と複数文字列の連結を対象にし、その後、結果を issue の例と比較して、固定入力による誤解を招く比較が解消されたことを確認します。

You are doing your test without any randomization and length variety, so results are incorrect completely.

You simply just testing how fast are 'foo' and 'bar' concatenation, and only

Live case scenario looks more like this:

# strings length is a ( 100 + rand( 100 ) ), i.e. short strings max difference around double 

 String#append:   439150.7 i/s
            String#+:   419672.1 i/s - same-ish: difference falls within error
  "#{'foo'}#{'bar'}":   365799.6 i/s - 1.20x  slower
       String#concat:   353912.5 i/s - 1.24x  slower

 # strings length is a  (1000 + rand( 1000) ) , i.e. longer strings max difference around double

            String#+:   298633.5 i/s
   String#append:   284566.8 i/s - same-ish: difference falls within error
  "#{'foo'}#{'bar'}":   267548.4 i/s - 1.12x  slower
    String#concat:   215419.4 i/s - 1.39x  slower

# string length is a ( 100 + rand(1000) ), i.e. highly variable length
             String#+:   388205.2 i/s
   String#append:   357669.3 i/s - 1.09x  slower
  "#{'foo'}#{'bar'}":   331617.7 i/s - 1.17x  slower
    String#concat:   286717.8 i/s - 1.35x  slower

# string length is a 1 + rand 1000, i.e. random string
             String#+:   385180.8 i/s
   String#append:   373926.8 i/s - same-ish: difference falls within error
  "#{'foo'}#{'bar'}":   341496.6 i/s - 1.13x  slower
   String#concat:   297988.1 i/s - 1.29x  slower

OK

# This is completely oposite to
         "foo" "bar":  5369594.5 i/s
 "#{'foo'}#{'bar'}":  5181745.7 i/s - same-ish: difference falls within error
   String#append:  3075719.2 i/s - 1.75x slower
    String#concat:  3016703.5 i/s - 1.78x slower
            String#+:  2977282.7 i/s - 1.80x slower

Also you didn't test on multiple string concat, where actually "#{'foo'} #{'bar'} #{'shines'}".
